Maybe you will remember your password at some point. i doubt it would have been anything too random.
Personally I use a password manager - because all my passwords are different, long and complex.1 -
I think your problem is that if the app doesn't recognise your face, you don't know / can't remember your password and the registered email is not now one you have access to, then these together are all throwing up a big red flag to the bank as being possible identity fraud, so they are understandably taking extra precautions to ensure that you are the legitimate owner of the account.1

Do you have access to anything else - even something as poor as Revolut could give you bank details, allow you to make payments etc in the interim.
